The shocked 28-year-old continued: "I was so worried I got her in the toilets and she turned into a right state, crying, saying she had ruined her life.

"I was that worried I thought I should call the police because I just didn't know what to do."

In a screenshot appearing to show messages between Stephanie Davis' official Instagram account and Claire, the Celebrity Big Brother star wrote: "Feel sick, like what did I do yesterday, feel like I have ruined my life.”

The incident is understood to have taken place just days before Steph was due in court for the trial of her on/off boyfriend Jeremy McConnell.

The Irish model has since been charged with assault and will be sentenced on Friday.
